4. Remind students of deadlines, alert them of grades
Some universities trigger online SMS campaigns 2 days prior to assignment deadlines to remind students of submissions. Also, when grades become available, they let students know so. Demand & reward!

6. Emergency alerts
Whether it's a hazardous situation (fire, threat, flooding, etc) or something specific to the school (closed for renovations) you can make sure everyone is onboard on time in full by sending them an SMS notification.

7. Tuition reminders
An overdue invoice? Not a problem, you can send SMS reminders to have the invoice paid as soon as possible.

Are there other ways in which your school or uni uses online SMS that we haven't covered? Let us know!
